Sorry bit long and have also posted this on health page but would really appreciate some advice. Following on from some of my other threads, I am 6 months pregnant and have had what appears to be a grumbling chest infection for 2 months. After the 2nd lot of AB's i felt a bit better though still had a cough. Then last week DD came down with a virus and i got worse again. Saw GP on monday and she said still signs of chest infection,plus infected tonsil and temp. Given 3rd lot of AB's.
Now on day 4 of AB's and whilst temp and tonsil better, my chest cough is worse and have been feeling very short of breath which is very scarey. I gave a plegm sample on monday but results not back at gp yesterday (and closed today of course). Even if i go back to gp tomorrow it is quite likely results wont have come back (and the sample may have been no good anyway i dont know). Either way i dont think the AB's are working as my chest is worse than when i started them and there should be some improvement by now (have now had amoxycillin, erythromycin and cefaclor)
I am exhausted, not sleeping, and worried about the baby and have a 3yr old and job to deal with once OH back at work next week. I dont know if i would be better to just bite the bullet and use the fact that gp closed to go to local hospital this afternoon (once remnants of NYs eve have been dealt with!). But i am equally worried about picking something else up whilst there as my immune system is obviously now so compromised.
Would you got to the hospital or try to see a doctor (unfort not one i usually see as she is off til next week) again tomorrow?
help?
many thanks
